Janice Webber Announces Free “Come and Take a Break” Online Masterclass for September 24

Nova Scotia, Canada, September 2026. Janice Webber, The Creativity Unblocker and creator of The Creative Reset, has announced a free online masterclass, Come and Take a Break, taking place on September 24, 2026. Created for capable women who find themselves repeatedly thinking, “I need a break,” the event offers participants an opportunity to step away from the constant doing, actually take a break together, and begin exploring a deceptively simple question, I just took a break. "Why do I need another one already?"

For many women, taking a break has become the answer to an increasingly familiar feeling. They look forward to the weekend, book the vacation, take an afternoon off, go for a walk, spend time at the beach, read, paint, garden, or simply try to do less for a while. Often, the break works.

They feel better. They breathe a little more deeply. Their minds become quieter. They may reconnect with parts of themselves that have been pushed aside by responsibilities, expectations, and the constant demands of everyday life. Then Monday arrives.

Within a few days, they may find themselves right back where they started, tired, overwhelmed, and already thinking about the next opportunity to get away.

Webber believes that experience deserves more attention.

“Taking a break isn’t the problem,” says Webber. “The break may have done exactly what you needed it to do. The more interesting question is why the relief disappeared so quickly after you returned to your everyday life.”

An invitation to stop doing for a while

Unlike a traditional masterclass filled with information, strategies, and another list of things participants need to do, Come and Take a Break begins with the break itself.

Webber wants participants to experience what it feels like to stop, pause, and create some space before trying to understand what may be happening underneath their exhaustion.

The masterclass will combine conversation with simple experiences drawn from Webber’s work with stress, movement, and creativity. Participants will have an opportunity to step away from the pressure to perform, accomplish, or fix something and simply notice what happens when they give themselves permission to pause.

From there, Webber will begin exploring why someone can take a genuinely restorative break and still find herself depleted again soon afterward.

The purpose is not to convince women that they are taking breaks incorrectly or that they need to become better at self-care.

Instead, Webber wants to open a different conversation. What is happening between the breaks?

When the things you have always handled start taking more out of you

Webber created the masterclass particularly for women who still consider themselves capable.

They are functioning. They are getting things done. They are managing their work, homes, relationships, businesses, families, and responsibilities. From the outside, there may be little indication that anything has changed.

But they can feel the difference.

Things they once handled without much thought may require more effort. They may need longer to recover from demanding days. Their concentration may not be as reliable. Creativity may be harder to access. They may find themselves becoming overwhelmed more easily or needing more time alone simply to feel like themselves again.

Often, their response is to keep adapting.

They reorganize. Push through. Drop something from the schedule. Promise themselves they will rest on the weekend. Take the vacation. Recover enough to start again.

Webber says the repeated need for a break can sometimes be useful information rather than simply an inconvenience to overcome.

“You can still be incredibly capable and recognize that maintaining that capability is costing you more than it used to,” she says. “That is a conversation I think we need to be having.”

More than 30 years exploring stress, the body, and creativity

Webber brings more than 30 years of experience as a physiotherapist to her work, along with more than 15 years of teaching Tai Chi and decades of experience as an entrepreneur and artist.

Across those different parts of her life and career, she has continually explored the relationship between stress, the body, movement, creativity, and the ability to meet the demands of everyday life.

Those experiences eventually led to the development of The Creative Reset, Webber’s experiential approach to helping people move toward greater calm, clearer thinking, creative flow, and sustained capacity.

Rather than beginning with another demand for change, The Creative Reset begins by creating space to notice what is actually happening.

That philosophy is reflected in the September 24 event.

Participants will not be expected to arrive ready to overhaul their lives or leave with another complicated program to implement.

They are being invited to begin with something far simpler.

Take a break. Notice what changes. Then become curious about what happens when the break is over.

A different conversation about taking a break

Webber believes there is an important distinction between questioning whether breaks are useful and questioning why their effects sometimes disappear so quickly.

A weekend away can be wonderful. A vacation can provide much-needed distance from everyday pressures. An afternoon spent painting, walking, gardening, or sitting beside the ocean can create genuine moments of calm and reconnection.

None of that needs to be dismissed.

But when someone repeatedly returns from those experiences only to feel depleted again within days, Webber believes there may be value in looking beyond the break itself.

That is where the September 24 masterclass will begin.

Instead of asking, “How can I take a better break?” participants will be encouraged to consider questions such as what has changed, what they have been carrying, what continually takes energy from them, and why the relief they experience when they step away may be so difficult to sustain once ordinary life resumes.

The goal is not to provide a quick answer.

It is to create enough space for a different question to emerge.

Come and take a break on September 24

Come and Take a Break will take place online on September 24, 2026, and participation is free.

The masterclass will be hosted inside Webber’s Creative Reset Circle on Skool, an online community created around her work with stress, creativity, and capacity.

Women who have been telling themselves they simply need to make it to the weekend, get through the next deadline, or hold on until their next vacation are especially invited to attend.

So are women who have recently taken a break, enjoyed it immensely, and then found themselves wondering why they were exhausted again only a few days later.

“You don’t need to arrive knowing what needs to change,” says Webber. “You don’t even need to arrive ready to change anything. Come and take a break. We can start there.”

Because perhaps the need for another break is not something to ignore, judge, or push through.

Perhaps it is information.

Perhaps one of the most useful things you can do is give yourself enough space to notice what it has been trying to tell you.
